Nice homely hostel in a great location. It's within a residential building so there are no signboards outside - just follow the directions on their website and you'll get there.
I liked the cleanliness, comfy bed, numerous power plugs, and staff - Asya was so friendly!
Some people may find it useful to know that 1) the hostel is on the 3rd floor, there is no elevator 2) there's only 1 shower and 1 toilet
The location is great; beautiful district, metro nearby and a short walk from the Red Square. Rooms and bathroom are clean and nice, and the staff is really helpful and friendly. Highly recommended!
Great place, highly recommended.
The best hostel I live ever
---THE BEST HOSTEL IN MOSCOW----
I was a student in Med Uni in Russia and i visited Moscow for many times but this is the 1st time i stayed in Ivan Hostel.
I was attracted by the white and clean room photos when i was choosing a hostel to stay in Moscow.
Ivan hostel:
1. Clean in every single corners without disappointing you even in the kitchen and toilet
2. warm enough in the winter with -16C

4. freely access well-equipped kitchen (microwave, tea and sugar, kettle, fridge, cutlery, frying pan, ventilator etc)
5. spacey bathroom with strong water power shower and bathtub
6. cosy dorm with clean bedsheet and pillow, comfortable and good quality mattress, lockers, jacket hangers.
